Product Information

The nickname monkey cup comes from the observation that monkeys will drink the fluid out of the cup-like traps occasionally in the wild. The lower node (the point where the leaf was growing before you removed it) should be underneath the potting mixture level. They have special digestive glands for attracting insects and slippery hairs for keeping them in the pitcher, as well as enzymes to dissolve them. Only use a 'Carnivorous' labelled potting mix during a transplant, as anything else will contain too many chemicals that'll lead to fertiliser-burn.

They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (four) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). Place the plant in a location that receives little direct sunlight out of peak hours, or outside if possible. The second type, which is found in lower canopies in the wild, only need bright filtered sunlight throughout the day. When growing in areas such as offices with little to no insects, you can feed the plant yourself with dead insects placed comfortably inside the pitcher of the plant. Chemical composition of epicuticular wax crystals on the slippery zone in pitchers of five Nepenthes species and hybrids".Cut off at least five inches and remove the older half of the leaves for the reduction of transpiration (moisture loss). Against the backdrop of global warming, we are proud to offer a diverse collection of BPA-free, reusable, and eco-friendly drinkware. Hose the foliage down from time to time to hydrate the leaves and keep the dust levels down, but NOT directly into the Pitchers. Since Nepenthes cannot digest certain bacteria and fungi, the bactericides and fungicides allow plants to maximize nutrient uptake.

Because of their exotic looks, many novices are hesitant to give their hand a try at growing these magnificent plants. Some growers also use 50% perlite / Sphagnum moss mix with equally fantastic results and one which we also recommend. Although this is a natural response to ageing on a smaller extent, persistent yellowing and a near absence of foliage should only occur during the winter. Molecular Phylogeny of Nepenthaceae Based on Cladistic Analysis of Plastid trnK Intron Sequence Data". To understand more about their care needs, we need to understand theNepenthesenvironment in the wild.Both forms respond best to rainwater (but some tap water works as long as it is flushed monthly with rainwater or water low in dissolved solid and chemicals), bright light (though some species can grow in full sun), a well-drained medium, good air circulation and relatively high humidity, although easier species such as N.

The origins of its name, Nepenthes, could either refer to the Latin word for 'rare' (nepenth) or from the Ancient Greek word for 'grief' or 'pain', that may refer to the fate of its victimised insects.Vines help the plant climb trees and the pitchers or cups hang from the ends of the leaves, filled with liquid. Once inside, the slippery surface and downward-pointing hairs will cause the prey to cascade into a pool of liquid, where it'll instantly sink and drown in digestive-acid.

Plants that produced antimicrobial compounds could prevent loss of valuable nutrients gained from insects within the pitcher.The insect or other small creature perches on the rim to drink nectar and often can't maintain footing.
